I acquired my first Rhodesian ridgeback in the early 1980’s and along with my wife Janice, established the Walamadengie Rhodesian Ridgeback kennels.

I have bred and exhibited many champions both here in the UK and Europe, one of these being the UK’s first triple titled champion (Walamadengie Conquisidor) and whose son (Walamadengie Awesome) then went on to become the UK’s first International Multi Champion.

I judged my first championship show at Three Counties back in June of 2008, albeit without Challenge certificates and had a lovely quality entry of Rhodesian ridgeback. My best of breed winner in that occasion was shortlisted in the hound group.

I first awarded Challenge Certificates in January of 2010 at Manchester Championship Dog Show, again with a good entry of quality dogs. My best of breed winner then being placed second in the hound group. I also judged the breed at open show level along with other hound breeds. I have judged the hound group and best in show at open show level.

Ridgebacks are a huge part of my life and have been for many years. I am totally committed to this amazing breed and I consider it an honour to judge at the 20^th Anniversary Belgium Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Show.
